Location, location, location

One of the things that fires my imagination at the moment is location based services. I am convinced that fuel can be saved, efficiencies achieved and congestion eased if vehicle based staff are more effective. Ha ! , I hear you Say, but route planning is easy and some of these telematics boys can do that already. My idea, however is more complex. I want our mpro3 systems to know where a field worker is and, if he is late or cannot fulfil a task, the system calculates this from his location and reallocates the task to another operative.

I had a good conversation about this today with my chum LJ and we decided that it was eminently doable.
